Palace of Theodoric in Ravenna, Ostrogothic palace ruins next to Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, Ravenna, Italy
The Palace of Theodoric consists of architectural remnants with floor mosaics and a spiral staircase leading to an upper display room.
Archaeological excavations between 1907 and 1911 revealed foundations, walls, and lead sewer pipes bearing the name of Theodoric the Great, ruler until 526.
The palace architecture reflects the transition period between Roman and Ostrogothic influences during the early sixth century in northern Italy.
The site received 8,953 visitors in 2019, with current access including viewings of preserved floor mosaics in both ground level and upper sections.
Several columns from the original palace were transported to Aachen for Charlemagne's Palatine Chapel, with some later moved to the Louvre by Napoleon.
